The 38th annual Student Art Show, featuring works by Los Gatos Union School District students, is coming up May 14-18 at Fisher Middle School, with more than 2,000 works of art on display in the school’s multi-purpose room. The show is sponsored by the Art Docents of Los Gatos and features drawings, paintings, collages and sculptures.

All LGUSD students in kindergarten through fifth grade will have works on display, as will some students in grades six to eight.

The show kicks off on May 14 with a free open house that’s open to the public from 5 to 7:30 p.m.

“We hope to see many families at this event that presents student art in a gallery format for kids to show off their artwork to their family and friends,” art docent coordinator Frances Barnes said.

The art show is also open to the public on May 13, 14 and 15 from 2 to 4 p.m.

The art docents program includes hands-on workshops, monthly print presentations and guest artist assemblies. It is an all-volunteer organization, with funding coming from the school district, home and school clubs, the town and the community.

When students visit the art show, they will be sent on scavenger hunts to find specific pieces that represent elements of art or principles of design. Docents hope the scavenger hunts will enhance the student experience, while making it both fun and engaging.
